Server: as a new player I'd go to AB as it is the highest population PvE server.

Leveling/Grouping: Any Priest, Any Fighter, Any Scout/Mage is your best combination for a trio. The new holy trinity exists, it is Healer, Tank, DPS.

Raiding: Fighters are not wanted, priests are semi-wanted, bards are highly sought after even though they kind of suck in grouping, any DPS scout is still a good choice, any mage is also a good choice.

Adventure Packs: Splitpaw is worth it, as is The Fallen Dynasty. Bloodline Chronicles is not worth it.

Station Pass: If you want the extra 4 slots, then yes it's worth it, if you don't, then not really at all.

Races: It's not a huge deal, but Ogres are the best HP-class, while Wood Elves are the best Rangers with their Ranged Crit % chance trait. Erudites are also the best Mages and Priests due to their Power-traits. But overall, it's all about the same with only slight differences that are barely noticeable.

Classes: Do you mean in order of what they can do or what? All the classes outside of raiding are really well done.

It's about a 70% instanced, 30% dungeon/open content. The update note was about the fact that guilds were "exploiting" and using more than 24(the raid limit) to kill Mayong's adds, which made the encounter easier, so now they actually lock onto the raid killing them. Of course how this managed to continue to be done over and over again since it has happened in the past several times as well, I don't know :\
